Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing
Called life
[Verse 2]
Electric word, life
It means forever
And that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
[Verse 3]
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun
Day, or night
[Verse 4]
So when you call up that shrink
In Beverly Hills
You know the one
Dr. Everything'll Be All Right
Instead of asking him how much
Of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
[Verse 5]
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder
Than in the after world
In this life
You're on your own
[Verse 6]
And if the elevator
Tries to bring you down
Go crazy
Punch a higher floor
[Verse 7]
If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends
[Verse 8]
See, called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
Ah, ah
Is all I heard
[Verse 9]
I'm not gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh no, let's go
[Verse 10]
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Till they put us in the truck
Let's go
[Verse 11]
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die
[Verse 12]
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come
Knocking on your door
[Verse 13]
Tell me, babe
I'm not gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh no, let's go
[Verse 14]
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
Till they put us in the truck
Let's go
[Verse 15]
Come on baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
[Verse 16]
Let's go
Let's go crazy
[Verse 17]
I'm not gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh no, let's go
[Verse 18]
Go crazy
I said, let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
[Verse 19]
Dr. Everything'll Be All Right
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills then daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
[Verse 20]
He's coming
He's coming
He's coming
He's coming
He's coming
[Verse 21]
Yeah
Take me away
